Excellent video!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Thanks!

[@NY-DIYMECH]

Nice job on the project, and description of the work.

[@LowBoostFilms]

Thanks, I wish I could’ve done more video of me actually installing the cable but it’s pretty tight and there’s no way to get a camera in there

[@knappar]

I can't wait to see her in person!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Def gonna bring it to some shows

[@nyccorvette]

Bravo dude! The exhaust has a nice growl. I am still picking this over the Vette on the track LOL!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Until you realize it has no power steering and no power brakes lol

What transmission is that? I have a 65 Mustang with a transmission and it’s original cable from a 92 Mustang. I have a Holley Sniper installed. I could never manage to adjust the cable correctly. The shift from first gear to second is always kinda rough. From second to overdrive the gear shifting is pretty good though. Would your Lokar cable work on mine? Thanks!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Yea the lokar cable is a must. I also put a spring on the TV cable to it returns properly. I made the video to show the proper adjustment of it. It takes some tweaking

[@narcissist3668]

@@LowBoostFilms I’m going to check out that video. What transmission you have? I have an AOD from a 92 Mustang. Thanks buddy!

[@narcissist3668]

@@LowBoostFilms Sorry, one last thing. Is this the cable? Lokar KD-2AODHT Hi-Tech Kickdown Kit for Ford AOD Transmission

[@narcissist3668]

Love your Mustang BTW! Awesome wheels/tires/stance too.

[@LowBoostFilms]

@@narcissist3668 I have a link to it in the description of this video. It’s an AOD out of a mid 80s truck I think.

[@ScifiFri]

Interesting car...mostly 66 but with the 65 grill. Is that on purpose? Also, is all of the adjustment of the AOD done with that cable at the top of the motor? I need to adjust my TV cable and have had a hard time finding videos of the actual adjustment. They say "adjust to full throttle and blah blah" but they don't SHOW the adjustment like you did. Thanks!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Yeah that grill was on it when I got it, I might change it to a 66 grill but I don’t dislike this one, Yes the adjustment is by the throttlebody. I tried to show as best I could how to actually adjust it so you could see what it looks like on the pressure gauge

[@efrenalcantar8430]

the transmission is lockup or non lockup?

[@LowBoostFilms]

Non I think

[@johnwesleycollins878]

Nice car the the od make it run better

[@LowBoostFilms]

Definitely on the highway it’s a great cruiser.

[@ramairetransam]

good job Ken . Hows it drive with the self learning efi ?

[@LowBoostFilms]

Like a charm really. I’m sure it would make more power with a proper tune and the fact that I do not have the Holly controlling the timing. But that’s all stuff I can add easily later. I do need to adjust the transmission to shift later, currently it short shifts

[@ramairetransam]

@@LowBoostFilms why isn't it controlling the timing ?

[@Projectblackkjack]

He needs a hyperspark distributor for that

[@LowBoostFilms]

I don’t have it wired for it, I need a other a hyper spark distributor, or an msd ignition system.

[@ScifiFri]

@@LowBoostFilms It's my understanding you can't adjust the timing of a shift on an AOD, only the duration of shift... err on the side of adjusting the TV cable too tight which is safe for the AOD but will result in long shifts. Then adjust down to get the right shift. The shift points would be a factor of the AOD gears and the rear diff ratio. 2.8 rear end would have really high shift points and 3.8 would have lower (like OD at 45mph). Am I wrong? I guess there are throttle body kits you can install that will impact shift points, but that requires working on the AOD itself.
